It could very well be a game setting for nomad mode. So it depends on the players. -

Perhaps his bonus is to increase the soldiers' attack as he and his men are wounded, a heroic death. -

These people are not supposed to use a Celtic Spatha. Why not give a bonus to some technology with that sword? It is supposed to be longer than a Gladius. -
The other option is to make versions or variants. It would be adding a new dropdown menú. They would be mods of the base faction. As the name says, they would be variants I want the faction only to use Romans with Corinthian attic helmets.

Left a soldier of class I very influenced by the Greek hoplites. Right a class III soldier with elongated shield and pectorals. Roman-Etruscan warriors 5th century: left class I, class V and class III, right class III with axe, class I and Syracusan hoplite. Author Oscar Luna.

Author Ángel García Pinto. https://arrecaballo.es/edad-antigua/la-republica-romana/primera-guerra-latina-505-493-ac/ Servius Tullius (578 to 534 BC) He gave entry into the army to all owners, whether patricians or plebeians; only those who could not afford military equipment were excluded. He reorganized the army on the basis of the economic patrimony of each citizen, according to a division into 5 classes depending on their economic situation and their equipment were: Class I, were those who earned more than 100,000 aces, wore a helmet, breastplate, greaves, round metal shield (clipeus, the Roman version of the hoplon), sword and long spear with regatton. Class II, earned 75,000 aces, had to afford a helmet, a rectangular wooden shield (scutum), greaves, a breastplate, a spear and a sword. Class III, earned 50,000 aces, wore a helmet, rectangular shield, could wear a pectoral plate, the shorter wooden shield (scutum), sword and spear. Class IV, earned 25,000 aces, no helmet, smaller wooden shield. They carried a spear and a javelin. They were called acenti. Class V, earned 11,000 aces, carried only slings or bows. They were called leves. Capitecensi, were unarmed men who served as armorers, smiths, trumpeters and the like. The soldiers of fourth and fifth class, were employed as skirmishers, in front of the phalanx, when retreating, they formed two rows behind the phalanx. Above them were the equites, who were the aristocracy of the army, and grouped the citizens with fortunes above 100,000 aces. They were armed with helmet, lance, greaves and long sword. https://arrecaballo.es/edad-antigua/la-republica-romana/la-monarquia-etrusca/

The early Romans fought as hoplites, inspired by Etruscans and Greeks. The transition of the Roman army from ‘tribal’ warriors to citizen militia was achieved in part due to the Roman society and its intrinsic representation (with voting rights) in the Roman assembly. To that end, the early Romans were almost entirely depended on their citizen militia for the protection and extension of the burgeoning faction’s borders. These militiamen were simply raised as levy or ‘legio’ – which in turn gives way to the term ‘legion’. In essence, the so-called legions of early Rome were ‘poor’ predecessors to the uniformly-equipped and disciplined soldiers of the later centuries. However, already by this time Greek hoplite equipment had begun to be adopted in the region, including the characteristic double-grip round shield and distinctive helmets and body armor. Hoplite equipment had appeared in the Greek world from the late eighth century, and its widespread use in Etruscan cities is attested from c. 650 on by grave finds and artistic representations. The evidence is thinner for Rome and the other Latin communities, but it seems likely that hoplite equipment came into use there about the same time or soon after its introduction in Etruria. Established views of hoplite warfare have, however, recently been subjected to radical critiques, notably by Van Wees. He argues that close-formation fighting was not essential for the effectiveness of the new equipment, and that down to the early fifth century Greek hoplites continued to fight in a quite open formation, interspersed with light-armed troops. He also maintains that there was considerable disparity between working-class and leisured hoplites, with only the latter wearing much body armor. These conclusions fit well with the Etruscan indications, and, if they are correct, the difference between developments in Greece and Etruria may not be as great as supposed, and the adoption of Greek armor in Etruria may not have involved radical changes in fighting methods, let alone social structures. The same will also apply to Rome and Latium: here too fighting may have continued to be fluid and flexible, based on an open formation incorporating both light and more heavily armed troops, and especially at first, only the really well-to-do may have aspired to the new Greek-style shields and armor.

"First sack of Rome". The Roman Republic (Latin: Res publica Romana [ˈreːs ˈpuːblɪka roːˈmaːna]) was the era of classical Roman civilization beginning with the overthrow of the Roman Kingdom (traditionally dated to 509 BC). The first Roman republican wars were wars of expansion. One by one, Rome defeated both the persistent Sabines and the local cities. Rome defeated its rival Latin cities in the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 BC, the Battle of Ariccia in 495 BC, the Battle of Mount Algidus in 458 BC, and the Battle of Corbio in 446 BC. But it suffered a significant defeat at the Battle of the Cremera in 477 BC, wherein it fought against the most important Etruscan city, Veii; this defeat was later avenged at the Battle of Veii in 396 BC, wherein Rome destroyed the city.[12][13][13] By the end of this period, Rome had effectively completed the conquest of its immediate Etruscan and Latin neighbours and secured its position against the immediate threat posed by the nearby Apennine hill tribes. By 390 BC, several Gallic tribes were invading Italy from the north. The Romans met the Gauls in pitched battle at the Battle of Allia River around 390–387 BC. The battle was fought at the confluence of the Tiber and Allia rivers, 11 Roman miles (10 mi or 16 km) north of Rome. The Romans were routed and subsequently Rome was sacked by the Senones.[16] There is no destruction layer at Rome around this time, indicating that if a sack occurred, it was largely superficial

Graphic description. +++++ It's good for Alexander's campaign. And it opens the door for campaigns by Asian factions. -

Everything is connected, I told you guys. According to Herodotus: the Phocaeans were the first Greeks to make long sea-voyages, having discovered the coasts of the Adriatic, Tyrrhenia and Spain. Herodotus relates that they so impressed Arganthonios, king of Tartessus in Spain, that he invited them to settle there, and, when they declined, gave them a great sum of money to build a wall around their city.[7] Their sea travel was extensive. To the south they probably conducted trade with the Greek colony of Naucratis in Egypt, which was the colony of their fellow Ionian city Miletus. To the north, they probably helped settle Amisos (Samsun) on the Black Sea, and Lampsacus at the north end of the Hellespont (now the Dardanelles). However Phocaea's major colonies were to the west. These included Alalia in Corsica, Emporiae and Rhoda in Spain, and especially Massalia (Marseille) in France. Phocaea remained independent until the reign of the Lydian king Croesus (circa 560–545 BC), when they, along with the rest of mainland Ionia, first, fell under Lydian control[8] and then, along with Lydia (who had allied itself with Sparta) were conquered by Cyrus the Great of Persia in 546 BC, in one of the opening skirmishes of the great Greco-Persian conflict. Rather than submit to Persian rule, the Phocaeans abandoned their city. Some may have fled to Chios, others to their colonies on Corsica and elsewhere in the Mediterranean, with some eventually returning to Phocaea. Many however became the founders of Elea, around 540 BC
